President Depew's Good Advice

= >oAS~AAe ~~SIS" " - ~ WV 1ASA VAS0.
President Chauncey NJ. Depew OF the
New York Central railroad. in a recent
speech to the employees of his railroad.
said: mo man can stand still. The mo-
ment he tries to do nothing but cat his
meals and bottom chairs, he is no use.
He goes back. His opinion is not
worth any thing. and no man will pay
him two cents an hour. A man is like
locomotive. Ambition is the cngin-
eer Hope is the fireman, The station
where he stops to take in coal and
water are his home, the church, the
society he keeps, the libraries he uses.
There are no breaks on this locomotive.
When he stops. the locomotive must
run back. How shall man use these
two months of the year which
he has at his disposalp There is a
gentleman who always stops in just
here-a gentleman whom have often
seen. He is called the devil. Some
men do not believe in the personal
devil. ] do. meet him every day Of
my life. He IL one Of the most cheer.

What Would the World Do

without woman? asks the essayist who
starts out to say something new on this off
treated subject. OF course, the human ele-
ment Of the world would not exist without
woman, so the question Is gratuitnus. 1t
would have been far more sensible to ask
What would the world do without the sal
vation of woman, without a panacea for
her physical ills, a cure for her peculiar dis
eases. In word, what would the world
do without DR.. Pierce's "Favorite Prescrp-
tion,' the great remedy fcr female weak
nesses? 1t is indispensable for the ills OF
wOmankind.

A GENEROUS RIVAL,
Mr.. Dana Defended From the Attack
OF an Unscrupulous Poet.

Mr.. Dana Defended From the Attack
| ofan interruptions Poet.
We have from time to time had diff
ferences with our neighbor. The New
York Sun. The views entertained by
| The Sun about the silver dollar, about
the protective tariff, about civil-servicc
reform. and about the president are un-
| like our own views. and we commonly
take great pleasure in events. tenden-
cies. movements. and triumphs which
cause The Snn acute suffering. This
is because in these things The Sun, as
we regard it, is sinful by nature md
made more SO by practice. But we
think we know how to pnt aside mere
differences of opinion with an cstcem-
ed neighbor- who. after all. is human.
| like the rest of us-and, # we diagnose
correctly tho emotion which agitates
us as we write. we are capable of feel
| ing Il just resentment toward a wretch
who would covcrtly enter that neigh
bor's esteemed columns and revile him
with his own type.
Of dcccncy and hospitality was commit
ted in yesterdays issue of The Eceninq
Sun. which gave a prom nent place
upon its editorial page to the following
verses:

reading from top downward, mako up
the words, Dana is fraud" prop
ostion which is not only insulting. but
untrue. And the Indignation mounts
| higher as we reflect on the artfulncss
with which this diabolical villain did
his work. We have no doubt that he
is an outside contributor, but he knew
tho weak points of his victim. HIS
manuscript appealed at once to Mr..
Dana's love of poetry and to his yearn-
ings for advertisements. He knew that
after day of weary gnawing at the
mugwump file Mr.. Dana turns to poe
try for refreshment rs the hart to tho
waterbroOks. He had scanned also the
lean advertising columns of The Evcn-
ing Sun. And he used his knowledge
o aid his detestable purpose. His
caitiff verses he composed with skill
| which made certain their acceptance
and publication. They werc not too
good-in fact. they were bad. very bad.
But their imperfections befitted their
commercial purpose and averted the
eye OF suspic on. 1t was a contempti-
BILE and cowardly way of getting
around poetryloving and thrifty old
gentleman. And it WAS an affront to
newspaper editor which the press
everywhere ought to denounce in the
severest terms.
Believing this to be the duty of the
press, we hereby denounce this knave
and his work. and extend to our neigh
Dor, Mr.. Dana, our lively sympathy
and the assurance OF our disbelief in
the libellous statement which he has
unwittingly published against himself.

Useful Hints.

The application of dry buckwheat -four
will sometimes remove grease from deli
cate fabrics.
Any letter not heavier than a silver dol
lar, which weighs little less than an
ounce, can go for a single two-cent
stamp.
For cleaning brasses belonging to ma
hogany furniture use either powdered
whiting or scraped rottenstone, mixed
with sweet oil, and rub on with chamois
skin.
An authority says if eggs are kept for
future use they should be turned over
twice week. Also that eggs for hatch
ing will keep two or three weeks if turned
half over each day. Eggs should always
be kept in a cool place, but where they
will not freeze.
Faded hangings may be restored by
beating the dust from them and brushing,
then apply strong lather of CASTLE soap
by means of hard brush; wash the lather
off with clean water and afterward with
alum water When dry the colors will
generally be found to be restored.
Children's stocking knees can be mend
ed nicely by picking up row of stitches
below the hole and knitting strip wide
enoughand long enough to cover the hole
good. Then whip down the edges 10 the
stocking with yarn the same color as you
knit the strip with. If you have yarn like
the stockings it can hardly be seen. New
heels and toes can also be knit by cutting
off the old ones and picking up the
stitches. Knit the heel and sew in.
